Math 6H (Period 6 & 7)

Order of Operations 1-5

O3 because Order Of Operations

Grouping symbols ( ) hugs!! so important in middle school... math!!
[ ] brackets and { }
if you have a series of grouping symbols... do the inside ones first.. called nesting

{ [ ( )]}

(14 + 77) ÷ 7
91 ÷ 7
13

Make sure to show your division as a side bar. Be proud of your work!!
[3 + (4 ×5)]×10
[3 + 20]×10
[23]10
230

P--> Please --> Parentheses ( )
E --> Excuse --> Exponents e2
M --> My ----> Multiplication
D --> Dear ---> division
A--> Aunt --> Addition
S-->Sally --> Subtraction

PEMDAS but we talked about how it should really be
P
E
MD
AS

or
P
E
DM
SA

Because it is multiplication or division, whichever comes first!!
and then addition or subtraction, whichever comes first


After we have checked grouping symbols...
do all the multiplication and division in order from left to right
then,
do all the addition and subtraction in order from left to right

97 -7 5÷ 5×3 + 68
as we scan... or used our typewriter skills...(where are your sound effects???)
we discover we must divide first
funneling down, we get
97 -15× 3 + 68
97 -45 +68
52 + 68
120

what if
t = 12
w = 10
x = 9
y = 4
z = 3

tx- wz
(12)(9) - (10(3)
108 - 30
78

x(y + w)
9(4 +10)
9(14)
126
